since president obama has been president for three years and nothing calamitous has happened, this is more of an issue for governor romney. clearly, that will be part of the vetting that the american public is going to be doing. second reason is an election at a time of war or a time of national economies and concerned about foreign affairs -- these issuesnease, rise to the top. while we do have 60,000 troops in afghanistan and the concern of terrorism is still prevalent, i do not think the american public is feeling this is a time of war and national security. their insecurity is coming more from the economic troubles that we have experienced in the last three or four years than they do about national security. nonetheless, because national security issues are still very much on the forefront of the newspapers because we do have troops, that is another reason it is going to be important. there is some irony to that as a matter of fact that the economy is going to dominate. when you look at the powers of the presidency, the president really has virtually nothing that he or she can do
